QRF 火之神 is a small ground-floor Japanese-style restaurant at the southern end of Tung Choi Street, the Ladies' Market street in Mong Kok, about five minutes on foot from Mong Kok MTR Station Exit E2. Around eight to ten resident cats wander freely among the tables, including Ragdolls and other pedigree breeds, and kittens are sometimes present. There is no entry fee or time charge: each guest orders at least one item, with a low minimum spend, and can then stay and pet the cats that come over. The menu is simple and inexpensive, with omurice, Japanese curry, chicken steak and pork chop rice bowls, noodles, fried snacks and drinks, and there is a weekday discount. The dining room is narrow, with booth seating, so tables may be shared at busy times. It is open every day from midday until the late evening.
